There will be more than 1,200 crippled children who .will have the healthful benefit . of a camp holiday this summer, because people have contributed to the Easter Seal Campaign, conducted in Seaforth by the Lions Club. The Easter Seals are in the homes of everyone in Ontario now—and a pink envelope is sent so that donations can be returned to the local campaign headquarters. BANQUET YOUNG HOCKEY PLAYERS AS SEASON SCHEDULE ENDS (Contributed) Last Saturday morning the Le- gion minor hockey came to a close for all the boys, except those mak- ing the playoffs. After each game the boys were transported to the Legion Hall for a delicious lunch and chocolate milk. This was served and made possible by the ladies' Auxiliary to the Legion, and as in the past, it was very much appreciated by the boys, as well as those in charge. There were about 130 boys fed. over the morning. Thanks again, ladies! This year the Bante n group saw a battle right to the last game for a playoff spot. The Ti - Cats, who are led by Henry Camp- bell, with 25 goals to his credit, lined up against the Indians, also with a 20 -goal man on their team, in the person of Francis Hagan. This should prove to be quite a game. This is for the Seaforth Fire Brigade Trophy. Turning to the Pee Wee group, it is the Black Hawks with Brian Broome, a 23 -goal man, battling against Ferg Quinn's Canadiens. Ferg also is also a big gun, with 15 goals to his credit. They will be playing for the Jack Eisler Trophy. Glen Nicholson's Corvettes go of Feb. 28 of $1,740.58. Deputy tax collector Mrs. B. M. Woods re- ported receipt of $918.78 in 1960 taxes during February. Hern and Frayne: That the cur- rent accounts voucher amounting to $4,159.09 be passed for payment. against Ricky Wood's Artillery in the•Squirts group. These boys are young, but provided some exciting hockey. They will be playing for the Bert Shaw Memorial Trophy. Last, but not least, we have, if not the best hockey players, the most fun to watch — the Mites! These boys are all under seven, and will be playing for the "Gus" Boussey trophy. ' Also on the ice that night, Sat- urday, March 25, will be presented a number of individual trophies for most valuable, most improved, best goal tender, in each and ev- ery group. These are donated by people of the town as well as Rob- in Hood Oats Co., and the Seaforth Legion. This should be a big night for the boys, as well as parents and fans—Saturday, March 25, begin- ning at 7 p.m. The admission is 35c, and you may obtain tickets from almost any boy in town. O.E.S.

What a tangled web we weave, when first - we.. practice to co-ordinate (particularly in farm organization). This observation is ,prompted by a report of the recent vote for committee men to represent our county in the election of a zone director to the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers Marketing Board. This re- port speaks of the Free Enter- prise candidates—and the- Federa- tion candidates; also of Free En- terprise lists and Federation lists of car1ilidates. I would like to point out that the Federation did not nominate any candidates or make any Federa- tion lists. The candidates referred to were those elected at the Coun- ty Hog Producers' Association at their recent county annual and the lists were identical to this with the exception of two names which were changed because of ill health on the part of the delegates con- cerned. These changes were made on the recommendation of the Hog Producers' Association in the coun- ty. oupty. Further, I am informed that two or three of these men are Farm Union members and are ,not supporters of the Federation. True, at the request of the Hog Produc- ers' Association, copier of the list of delegates, with no comment, were printed by the Federation. After all, they are an affiliated organization. Had the same request been made to the Federation by the Free Enterprise group I feel that as a paid employee of the Federa- tion I' would have been obliged to do the same for them. While the Free Enterprise group is not affiliated with the Federa- BE RIGHT WHEN YOU WRAP tion, I feel quite suite; that a large number of them (though dome, 1 know do not) Pay aner?ibers41p to their township Federation •,anti therefore do have a claim for some service from the county. Just because the . Federation has. accepted a responsibility of die- tributing Information to farmers on commodity groups it is no rear son for saying that the Ia'ederatiou is controlling or supporting any of these organizations. If I were to divide the farmers` in the county into groups I would say that over 90 per cent pay their fees to the Fed ration and the re- mainder divided more or less ev- enly between the Farmers' Union and Free Enterprise.

BELL LINES by W. W. Haysom your telephone manager Ours is a truly Canadian enterprise. I was reminded of this fact while reading our 1960 Annual Report which was distributed to share- holders at the end el last month, and I thought it might make an inter- esting subject to discuss in BELL LINES. To start with, all our customers are, of Course, located in Canada, principally in Ontario and Quebec. Our services also extend outside these two provinces to Goose Bay in Labrador and Frobisher Bay �n Baffin Island in the far off Northweslt Territories: Then you may ask, "Who owns The Bell Telephone Company of Canada?" Well, 97.3 per cent of our share- holders are residents of Canada, and many are citizens who live and work in communities like Seaforth. Altogether they number 166,627—by far the largest body of share owners of any Canadian Company. That is why we are proud to say we are a Canadian enterprise—a company owned and operated by Canadians. SERVICE * 44 Here's interesting news about a new service—free concealed tele- phone wiring for homes under construction. We are now ready to install multiwire cable through the studding to suitable locations in the house where telephone service may be required. We can only do this at the stage of construction after electrical wiring is completed and before walls and partitions are closed in. When the house is built and the customer has chosen the location, or locations, for telephone service, our installer will locate the hidden wire, install an inconspicuous outlet and connect the telephone, or telephones, with the wiring. • In Seaforth our installer, George Sills, is being trained to do this work. As he is the. expert, we asked him about the new service. "Yes, %f` ��; r> it's free. It cer- certainly fits aright in with the plans of all progressive builders to keep y 1 wiring hidden and F.,. provide for as many outlets as possible ,. in convenient and inconspicuous loca- tions," he s a i d. "One attractive fea- ture of the new ser- vice is the wall out- let with a plastic faceplate: More and "' more people nowa- days want addition- al phones conveni- ently placed in their living room or .bed- room." For full in- formation just call us at Seaforth 200, and ask for Con- cealed Wiring Ser- vice. Wrapping parcels for postal delivery is easy.
